Removing unused user accounts

I created an extra account on my computer to help solve a Windows 10 problem, on the advice of someone at MS or in the MS Community. The problem is gone, but the extra account remains. We didn't discuss how to delete the account, but it appears in File Manager but not under User Accounts on Control Panel.

The only account listed under User Accounts has my name and has Administrator rights.

How do I remove the other account that appears in File Manager? I don't think it has any files that I want to save.
